We all cheered for Serena Williams when she got back in the game after giving birth to her daughter.

She’d wear full compression power suits to prevent blood clots, “I feel like a warrior in it, like a warrior princess kind of, [a] queen from Wakanda. I’m always living in a fantasy world. I always wanted to be a superhero, and it’s kind of my way of being a superhero. I feel like a superhero when I wear it.”

While we were all admiring her suit, the French Tennis Federation was not into it and banned Serena from wearing similar suits based on the new dress code.

Serena also responded to the new dress code: “When it comes to fashion, you don’t want to be a repeat offender. I think that obviously the Grand Slams have a right to do what they want to do. I feel like if and when, or if they know that some things are for health reasons, then there’s no way that they wouldn’t be okay with it. So I think it’s fine.”
